PLaystation 2 Collectors...Where are you in your collection?

[neonesmaster]

I have been a member of this Digital Press for some time now and it is time to hear from anyone out there that considers themself to be a Playstation 2 Collector.

If you are just filling this thread with garbage, please excuse yourself from the forum. Thank You!

My name is Chris and I live in Michigan. I am sure that I am not the only video game collector out there that might be attempting to collect all of the Playstation 2 titles. If you are collecting PS2 games, this THREAD IS FOR YOU!!!!!

I am over 1200 titles now. I own hundreds of demo discs and I even have all of the Official Playstation 2 magazine demo discs on hand. I currently own more ps2 crap than a garbage truck could hold in one trip, but my main focus is the Playstation 2 Video game library. freebies and little things are nice, but my main focus is to get every game made. I need them all to complete my library of Ps2 games.

I have a notebook that is sorted by SLUS and SCUS numbers. True collectors shoudl know what these letters stand for by looking at them and their collection. I have come across several label variations.

To those who dont know.....:label variations are what happens when a title gets reprinted or misprinted or added onto.

For Example.
Midnight Club 3: Dub Edition
1st print: Black spine playstation 2 label
2nd print: Red spine greatest hits Playstation 2 label Remix

MX World Tour
1st print: MX World Tour with Jamie Little on cover art
2nd print: Mx World Tour with some moto racer in cover art

the list goes on...how many can you name?

If you collect PS2 games, IM CALLING YOU OUT!

I WANNA TALK TO YOU!!!!

you think you have more ps2 titles than i do and I WANNA CALL YOU OUT!!!!!

why am i calling you out?

i want to hear from you. not that i have more titles than you but i want to know where you are in your collection. do you have a trade list. do you have a want list... do you have a label variation list.....do you know what it means to collect ps2...are you ready for all that it involves?

let me know!


this forum is for game collectors everywhere and i want to talk to the ps2 collectors

pm me

email me

call me


collecting is life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i need demos
i need more games
i have lots to trade
what do you have that i do not?

[tylerwillis]

WHAT SHOULD GO HERE

SOME OF THOSE CASES ARE EMPTY GUYS. I WILL ELT YOU KNOW I CAN GET CASES FROM WORK FOR FREE WHEN WE DONT HAVE THE GAMES ANYMORE...

THE ONLY PS2 GAMES I REALLY COLLECT HAVE TO BE UNOPENED JUST LIKE THE GUYS WERE MENTIONING BEFORE IN THE POST.

SORRY TO DISAPPOINT ANYONE BUT WHO HAS THAT KIND OF MONEY? SERIOUSLY?

Good to hear that you've been busy filling up those empty cases.

[Bronty-2]

Oh my god :/ I thought your first post was bad enough (wang-waving is right) and then I read the locked thread linked above... good lord. Worst thread ever.

[roushimsx]

Surprised it's only been a month and a half since that thread.

I posted there I was at 128 US and 36 JPN titles, but now I'm at 150 US and 36 JPN titles.

My newest additions were Monster Hunter ($20 used) and Ultimate Spiderman Limited Edition ($20 new), and I'm contemplating picking up the .hack series of games. Shadow Hearts I and II are a bit tempting, but I honestly don't know if I'd ever play them

edit - oh, and I need a Silent Hill 2 Greatest Hits case. I have the GH game and a non-GH case because I wasn't paying attention when I bought it Any chance you have a spare kickin' around?

(hell, there's a couple of cases I need replacements on)

[Enixis]

I haven't seriously got into collecting PS2 games yet, but i'm at 33 PAL games, 22 US games and 10 JPN games. Nothing outstanding in my collection, and i'm currently playing Shadow of the Colossus (PAL) and Saint Saiya The Sanctuary (PAL).
I also need some info on 'Gitarooman Preview' for the JPN PS2 if anyone knows any.

[videogameking26]

I'm a big PS2 collecter, currently at 157 games...and just bought 3 more tonight:

Outrun 2006: Coast to COast
Killzone
Kao the Kangaroo: Round 2

my list is here if you care to see what I got:

I was interested in seeing your PS2 collection and I'm sorry your previous
post degenerated into name calling and was locked. I don't know if you work
at a game store or a Blockbuster or something and that's how you were able
to collect PS2 cases, but I think it's a significant accomplishment in it's
own right to have gotten so many of them. There are those who collect game
magazines and demo's too and I've never really understood that, so I don't
consider what you're doing to be any less of an achievement.

Myself, I'm not really a collector per say. Meaning that I've never set a
goal of having a complete collection of anything, but I do play and I guess
that would be the first step to collecting someday. I think I'm around
350-ish PS2 games right now, counting the few imports I have.
I have a pic of them....
Here
and I apologize for the bad photo, but I'm forced to store my games in
closets for the time being, much to the dismay of the missus! I've taken
to calling them my closets of despair as opposed to having a Room of Doom!

My real goal though is to have more Xbox games than PS2 games. Not because
I have any disrespect towards PlayStation, far from it! But because I had
owned a PS2 far longer than I owned an Xbox, which gave it a tremendous
head start, and I've gradually been catching up on my Xbox collection
(around 260-ish) using only the determining factor of getting the best
version of any particular title, no matter the system. I'm don't feel the
need to have doubles of any title unless there's a specific reason to and
when and if my Xbox collection surpasses my PS2 collection, that will be a
major milestone for me!

Good luck with your PS2 collection and let me say that I appreciated seeing
it while the pictures of it were up. And don't let anyone dismiss your
acomplishment! Having one of, if not THE largest PS2 case collection
in the world is something to be proud of. My hats off to you!

That is a very nice collection Spartacus.

may I ask the difference between the 2 Max Payne copies?

PS2 Game Collection

Hey there Gigawing Generations buddy

[hezeuschrist]

I'm not sure if this variant made it to PS2, but while out at about 8 billion different game stores yesterday (7 hours of hunting) Perkar and I noticed Mega Man Anniversary Collection for GameCube has at least one variant. In the original there is the picture of Dr. Wily just under the title to the right, and in the variant instead of him there is a badge that says, "10 Games in 1!"

I'm not sure if it made it to PS2 or not though.

I'm sporting a modest collection of nearly 100 games for PS2 with many more on the want list. Mostly RPG's and it's getting out of hand... so many. I can't imagine what it would be like to collect JRPG's as well :/

[Juganawt]

I don't collect PS2 games in general anymore like I did with PS1.. I only collect the PS2 games that are good titles to play and I don't double up on varying regions of the same game either.

My PS2 collection is:

87 PAL
31 USA
109 JPN

in contrast to my PS1 collection which at it's prime was hitting 1000 unique titles, and about 2300 games overall.

[Mr.FoodMonster]

I've got 80ish PS2 games, maybe more now. If/once I buy a JPN PS2, that number is going to go through the roof with all of the beatmania, ddr, guitar freaks (need to mod my GH controller for that) and so many more. Probably why I'm holding off at the moment.

[norkusa]

Got 127 compete PS2 games. Since I'm more of a collector, I mostly pick up the stuff that's hard to find or has unique gameplay (Firefighter F.D. 18, Choro Q, Gallop Racer). I love anything arcade or classic related like the Sega Ages collection and also Bemani games too.

Just got my PS2 moded, so there's a TON of imports that I'm going to pick up soon that I always wanted. First on my list is Akira Psycho Ball pinball and the Japanese Taiko Drum games.

[PapaStu]

I'm not sure if this variant made it to PS2, but while out at about 8 billion different game stores yesterday (7 hours of hunting) Perkar and I noticed Mega Man Anniversary Collection for GameCube has at least one variant. In the original there is the picture of Dr. Wily just under the title to the right, and in the variant instead of him there is a badge that says, "10 Games in 1!"

I'm not sure if it made it to PS2 or not though.

Gamecube and Xbox got variants... GC got the 10 games in one circle, while the Xbox got the Dr. Wiley (where the 10 games circle logo is) as a variant. There is no PS2 variant as far as i've ever seen.

Like I said in the other thread i've got a 'modest' collection in my eyes. I don't put into it what I used to, as space and money are much bigger concerns (and that i've got some better things to toss money at anyways).

I'm sitting at
370 PS2 games (before variants)
180ish PS2 demo's
a handful of Online Beta's and one actual full game beta.

Nothing to scoff at, but far from Uber in my mind.

[neonesmaster]

thank you to everyone that has posted their thoughts here. i am looking for demo discs and betas..

papastu you got your list coming to you soon. i promise. but yes i will be looking to trade or buy from anyone willing to deal.

Haha, neonesmaster is like the DP clown. Do you have floppy shoes?

[Darren870]

my collection is well over 1300 us ps2 games, hundreds of demos and maybe 6 betas

Why do you keep saying this when we all know 90% are empty cases.

[neonesmaster]

Haha, neonesmaster is like the DP clown. Do you have floppy shoes?

not so sure how to take this funny comment, but THANKS!


and then this one

Why do you keep saying this when we all know 90% are empty cases.

this empty box thing? again seriously guys. this thread is for people who wanna collect something. thank you though for your remarks they are highly noted.....

either way this is my trade list. it looks like papastu has returned his want list and he will be getting his items. i will update this list as soon as we make our deal and then the rest is open to whoever.

i was wondering if anyone was keeping track of the slus and scus numbers for ps2? do you have any numbers you were wondering what the title was? do oyu have any numbers that i dont know the number?

id like to hear from ya.

thanks

[CosmicMonkey]

So wait, let me get this straigt. Apollogies if I'm being thick.

You have a note book that contains every PS2 game serial number

You have a load of PS2 demo disks you've *ahem* aquired from work

You have about 100 sealed games

You have 1300 empty PS2 cases

So you have nothing to play other than demo disks, yes? And a load of boxes and a note book of numbers (obsessive compulsive?). Ooook then. Good luck with this.
